Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire clarifies that 'the recommendation for now and plans underway [are] for the third doses, and not the boosters.'

The Department of Health said on Monday, October 18, that the government was planning to administer a third dose of COVID-19 vaccine for the country's immunocompromised group.

In a Viber message to reporters on Monday afternoon, Vergeire said that the DOH has a list of those who will be given priority for the third dose – individuals from the immunocompromised group or the A3 sector in the government's priority listing for vaccination.Vergeire added:"The COVID-19 vaccination guidelines outlines conditions that will need clearance because they are immunocompromised.

On October 11, the World Health Organization recommended that immunocompromised people be given an additional dose of a COVID-19 vaccine due to a higher risk of breakthrough infections after standard immunization.
